A Sublime Performance In A Lost Space

On this day in 2000 Robert Fripp took to the stage of in the Atrium of World Financial Centre in New York for the last time.


It was his final  soundscape performance of three fruitful days of musical exploration and mediation.  Despite the presence of photographers, bootleggers and technical problems, the concert was something of a triumph.


“I love this space. At lunch equipment problems 3 times in a row forced me to go in another musical direction to the one intended. I trust when this happens, so I followed where it lead. This evening, I continued in the same direction. Interestingly, I was unable to push the music somewhere else. Technical concerns aside, something was going on” wrote Fripp in his dairy at the time.
